Thanks. Good luck to  you as well.

I agree with you that a lot of damage can be done by those who do a poor job of designing and installing geo systems.  The news of one bad job seems to negate the effects of hundreds of jobs that are working fine.

Cheers

From his posts on here, I'd say that geodean shows that it is entirely possible to become a successful geo specialist without HVAC experience. Yes, I'd agree that an HVAC background would certainly give you a head start and would be an advantage provided that experience includes actually designing systems and not throwing stuff together based on rules of thumb. It really comes down to the individual and how quickly you can absorb the information.

Alton,

I sent you a PM with contact info
